Over the past few decades, the concept of the Metaverse has captured the attention of millions of people around the world. This term, coined by author Neal Stephenson in his novel “Snow Crash” in 1992, describes a three-dimensional virtual universe in which users can immerse themselves and interact with each other through digital avatars.
In this post we show you a brief summary of what the most notable news of the week were, so that you don’t miss any information. Very important, they are presented in summary form.
In a world where loneliness affects a significant percentage of the population, decentralized Metaverse platforms like Decentraland and Sandbox are being positioned as possible solutions. In fact, Bay Backner, chief producer of Decentraland, stated that these platforms not only offer entertainment, but also the possibility of establishing deeper and more genuine human connections in virtual environments.
In reality, despite the rise of social media and constant connectivity, loneliness has become a global epidemic, especially among young people. While we spend more time than ever in front of screens, the feeling of deep, authentic connection seems increasingly elusive.
In relation to this, during the European Blockchain Convention in Barcelona, Backner talked about how these metaverses can satisfy emotional needs. According to him, Metaverse platforms could provide both self-actualization and connection, two fundamental aspects for personal satisfaction.
The battle for the Metaverse intensifies: Meta launches its own smart glasses
Meta already has the first functional prototype, which is called Orion. During its annual event, Meta Connect, it has shown the company’s first augmented reality glasses. On the surface, they can do exactly the same as the most powerful mixed reality glasses on the market. They are used for work and leisure, making video calls, playing video games and more.
Regarding this fact, Mark Zuckerberg stated: “They are the most advanced augmented reality glasses the world has ever seen.” However, you will not be able to use them at the moment, since what is there is a prototype. Although it is the first step towards launching a device with these characteristics.
Beyond the Metaverse: 21st Century Surgery
Veyond Metaverse, a pioneer in XR healthcare technology, successfully completed the first AI-powered 5D XR surgery. Dr. Thierry Flam remotely guided the procedure from New York, United States, while Dr. Aung Kyaw Tun performed the surgery in Yangon, Myanmar, over a distance of 13,600 kilometers. This event marks another milestone following the world’s first digital XR surgery in September 2023.
Indeed, 5D surgery represents a quantum leap in medicine, fusing immersive 3D images, telepresence and real-time patient data. This technology, powered by Artificial Intelligence, allows surgeons to make more informed and accurate decisions, improving surgical results.
The Metaverse comes to cell phones
WISE Innovation Studios, the Chilean metamarketing agency, is leading this type of development in the Metaverse, using the Smartphone to provide access to virtual experiences.
In this regard, Igal Weitzman, CEO of the company, said: «We took our vast experience in developing mobile applications and games and decided to bring the Metaverse to the palm of our hand. Today we do everything on our cell phone, we buy, we browse, we play in different digital social ecosystems and we saw a great opportunity in this.”
In this way, the Metaverse Mobile becomes an extremely attractive scenario for brands, since it makes it possible to get to know users and their preferences very closely and at the same time interact with them, with promotions and benefits, creating recognition and greater loyalty. .
